The words from nowhere first drafts, downhill after that - though I will admit to enjoying the very final drafts (50th?) when it is in pretty good shape and I think I've written that - but not all of them get that far.

Usually I dread the one I'm about to being and love the one I'm on!

So I feel intimidated about starting a new first draft, but then really enjoy it (mostly) when I'm in it.

And again, I feel a bit daunted by the second draft, where much of the hard graft comes in. But as long as I leave it long enough before trying to start, instead of ploughing straight on, then I really enjoy that bit.

The bit I like least is having to the edits that come back from the publisher. They always put me in a bad mood because generally I've finished with them in my head and moved on to something else. To realise that there's still more work to be done makes me cranky!
